How Dare He?

I'm talking about Isaiah Washington formerly of Grey's Anatomy. I don't like racial slurs of any kind. Never have, Never will. I hate the N word and refuse to say it myself. I think it's THE ugliest word in the dictionary and, I also think it should be removed.
That being said, Blacks say that to each other all the time and it infuriates me to No end. I just don't get why people of any kind say this word even in jest. I never will.

All I have heard for most of my life is that Black people were given the crappy end of the stick and I'm not saying they weren't. What I AM saying is I expect so much more from them because of it. Why is it that someone of color can say anything they want about anyone else but, when someone says something negative about them, it's because of their color? What a slap in the face.

Now Washington has been saying all kinds of negative slurs because T.R. Knight is a homosexual or, so this is what the news media is saying. My question is, if this is true, why should he be allowed back on the show? I don't think she should be at all. You need to be held acountable for your actions and for your words.

Now he's also blaming fellow co-star Patrick Dempsy and my question is why? How did a fight with Dempsy make Washington say something negative about another member of the cast? I'd like to hear the answer to this.


I'm just tired of the double standard that seems to be running all over America. If a white person can't say the N word then I dont' think anyone black should either and for that matter, I don't get why they would want to. Comedy? I find nothing funny about that word. NOTHING. Imus was fired for making fun of the female basketball team calling them a name that I also choose not to write here in my blog and yet, Washington seems to think it's okay to make fun of T.R. Knight for being a homosexual. Well, I am here to say I feel it's NOT alright. Not at all.
If we're going to be held acountable for what we say and do, shouldn't that go for everyone no matter of their race creed or religion? Yeah, I think so to.
